Privacy Policy
Effective date: [Month DD, 2026]
This Privacy Policy explains how Covered Call Index ("we", "us", or "the site") handles information when you visit [your-domain.com]. We've tried to keep it plain and honest: the site collects very little, holds no accounts, and never asks for your personal or financial details.
Who We Are
Covered Call Index is an independent informational website operated by The Dividend Empire. You can reach us through the contact page.
Information We Collect
We do not require you to register, log in, or provide any personal information to use the directory. We do not knowingly collect names, email addresses, or payment information through the site itself.
Like most websites, we and our service providers may automatically receive standard technical information that your browser sends when you visit — such as your IP address, browser type, device type, referring page, and pages viewed. This is used for security, to understand aggregate usage, and to keep the site working.
Cookies and Similar Technologies
A cookie is a small text file stored on your device. We use a small number of cookies and similar storage for the site to function — for example, remembering your light/dark theme preference, which is stored locally in your browser and not transmitted to us.
In addition, third parties — including our advertising and analytics providers described below — may set their own cookies when you visit. You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings, and you can opt out of personalized advertising as described in the next section. Blocking some cookies may affect how the site works.
Advertising (Google AdSense)
This site is supported by display advertising served through Google AdSense. The following disclosures apply:
- Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website or other websites.
- Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visits to this site and/or other sites on the internet.
- You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.
- Alternatively, you can opt out of some third-party vendors' use of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting aboutads.info (or youronlinechoices.eu in the EU).
For more on how Google uses information from sites that use its services, see Google's Privacy & Terms.
Consent in the EEA, UK, and Similar Regions
If you are visiting from a region that requires it (such as the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom), we and our advertising partners will request your consent for the use of cookies and the processing of data for personalized advertising before such cookies are set, in line with applicable law. You can change or withdraw your choice at any time through the consent controls on the site.
Analytics
We may use a privacy-conscious web analytics service to understand aggregate, non-identifying usage — for example, which pages are most visited. This helps us improve the site. Where this provider uses cookies, they are covered by the cookie controls described above.
How Information Is Used
Information is used to operate and secure the site, understand aggregate usage, serve and measure advertising, and comply with legal obligations. We do not sell your personal information.
Third-Party Links
The site links to external pages, including fund providers' official websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those sites. We encourage you to review their privacy policies.
Data Retention
We retain automatically collected technical and aggregate data only as long as needed for the purposes described here or as required by law. Cookies set by third parties are retained according to those parties' own policies.
Children
This site is intended for adults and is not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect information from children.
Your Choices and Rights
You can manage cookies through your browser, opt out of personalized advertising using the links above, and, depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, or delete personal information that we hold about you. To make a request, contact us. We aim to handle requests in accordance with applicable privacy laws, including Canada's Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA).
Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, we'll revise the effective date at the top. Your continued use of the site after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
